No Diamond Racket For Venus
By Julie Smith

Venus Williams had to withdraw from the Proximus Diamond Games that are taking place in Antwerp, Belgium. According to the notorious athlete, she has been suffering too much due to a wrist injury. However she expects to make a comeback to the tour in Memphis.

Venus had to win the tournament three times within five years to be able to claim the golden diamond racket. This year was her last chance to make it. But as a result of her retirement from the tournament, Amelie Mauresmo will be the only one that could claim this award. This could happen if the Frenchwoman wins the Diamond Games for the third time. This means this year (2007), 2008 or 2009 since she already achieved this goal in 2005 and in 2006.

Venus Williams manager announced that the tennis player wouldn't stay to the end of this tournament and although she has been practicing, she is not ready yet to play a complete match.

According to the organization, Williams will be fined for withdrawing from the tournament with such short notice. This made the organizers run in order to get another star with a big name to replace Venus. The Belgian organization contacted other two known girls in the tennis tournaments world: Kuznetsova and Vaidisova but they were both committed with other events.

This professional event takes place since 2002. The tournament has been taking place in the Sportpaleis, Antwerp and is held at the beginning of February.
